A clandestine startup near Tel Aviv backed by Silicon Valley elites is quietly preparing to spray particles into the sky to dim the sun. $75M raised for a risky bid!
Let us unpack and dive into Stardust Solutions!!
Stardust Solutions has already raised a massive $75 million to pursue solar geoengineering. Funded by Lowercarbon Capital the company is currently planning outdoor experiments. It claims to specialize in "sunlight reflection technology" to mitigate global warming!
These are three primary architects of Stardust. At the helm are Yanai Yedvab (CEO), Amyad Spector (CPO), & Eli Waxman (lead scientist). Their lack of transparency & refusal to disclose the composition of the particles or publish peer reviewed research has raised red flags.
Since most of my fellow Europeans haven’t had the time or stomach to fully acquaint themselves with who’s who in Trump’s up and coming American Reich, I’ve taken it upon myself to create a short guide to the main cartoon villains and abominations of this administration.🧵
Affectionately referred to as "pure fucking evil" by her closest friends, family and by everyone who has ever met, seen, or heard her really, Kristi Noem is the woman Trump tasked with deporting people to Salvadoran concentration camps, after learning that she shot a puppy.
Married to an obscenely rich man whose children were already having children by the time she was born, and often seen wearing oversized crosses to differentiate herself from her North Korean counterpart, Karoline Leavitt is currently serving as White House Press Secretary.
🚨 Fact Check: Budget 2026 is NOT taxing soldiers’ disability pensions.
Misinformation is being spread deliberately. Here’s the truth with clear legal facts. 👇
1/8
The Bill proposes a specific tax exemption for disability pensions of armed forces personnel who are invalided out of service due to disabilities attributable to or aggravated by military service.
This protects those forced to leave duty early.
2/8
This exemption applies where disability causes a direct and permanent loss of earning capacity, leading to discharge.
It is meant as compensatory relief, not a general pension benefit.
That distinction is crucial.

This is not a new policy.
Indian tax law has maintained this distinction since the Income Tax Act, 1922, and later notifications in 1922 and 1970 also limited exemptions to invalidation cases.

Pension received after normal retirement (superannuation) is treated as deferred remuneration and remains taxable.
Even if a person suffered disability during service, the tax nature of superannuation pension does not change.

The amendment ensures a clear statutory line between:
disability pension for forced discharge
vs
pension earned after completing full service tenure.
It maintains continuity with long-standing legislative frameworks.

Eligibility is based on objective service records, reducing misuse where disability did not materially affect service tenure or post-retirement earning capacity.
Also, senior citizen defence pensioners still get multiple tax reliefs and deductions.

Don’t get misled by half-baked narratives.
This Budget strengthens protections for genuine disability invalidation cases and expands support to paramilitary forces.

Reversing the Tide: What If Canada Did the Opposite of Its Current Policies?
18th February 2026
In an era where government decisions often seem to prioritize grand ideological visions over pragmatic realities, a provocative thought experiment emerges: what if Canada systematically inverted its prevailing policy directions? Rather than embracing expansive multilateralism, unchecked debt accumulation, and regulatory hurdles that stifle growth, imagine a pivot toward national sovereignty, evidence-based decision-making, and unapologetic economic self-interest. This isn't mere contrarianism; it's a blueprint grounded in data, highlighting how such reversals could unleash untapped potential, close productivity chasms, and restore Canada's competitive edge on the global stage.
Consider the fiscal landscape. Canada currently grapples with a staggering $670 billion in stalled resource projects, pipelines, mines, and energy developments mired in bureaucratic red tape and environmental litigation. These aren't abstract figures; they represent forgone revenues, jobs, and infrastructure that could fortify the economy against external shocks. By flipping the script, streamlining approvals, prioritizing domestic resource extraction, and reducing reliance on adversarial foreign suppliers like China, Canada could unlock this backlog. Evidence from comparable jurisdictions, such as Australia's streamlined mining sector, suggests that expedited projects could inject billions into GDP annually. Instead of subsidizing intermittent renewables with taxpayer dollars, a shift to reliable nuclear energy would provide baseload power, enhancing energy sovereignty and slashing emissions more effectively than patchwork green incentives. The result? A resurgence in manufacturing and heavy industry, sectors long hampered by high energy costs and regulatory uncertainty.
Productivity, that elusive engine of prosperity, offers another stark inversion opportunity. Canada lags 20-25% behind OECD peers in output per worker, a gap exacerbated by policies that favor equity quotas over merit in hiring and immigration. Imagine reversing this: implementing a strictly merit-based immigration system that attracts top global talent in STEM, engineering, and trades, rather than broad-based intake driven by demographic targets. Historical precedents abound; the United States' H-1B visa program, despite its flaws, has funneled innovative minds into Silicon Valley, driving exponential growth. For Canada, this could mean bridging the productivity divide within a decade, as skilled immigrants integrate rapidly, boosting innovation and wages without straining social services. Coupled with tax reforms that reward productivity, such as slashing corporate rates for high-value sectors, this flip could transform Canada from a laggard to a leader, fostering a virtuous cycle of investment and output.
Trade policy, too, cries out for reversal. The current tilt toward multilateral agreements and diversified partnerships has deepened dependencies on unreliable actors, diluting focus on the continent's natural ally: the United States. By reorienting toward US-centric trade, renegotiating deals to prioritize North American supply chains and reducing exposure to geopolitical risks from overseas, the economy gains resilience. Data underscores the peril of the status quo; Canada's trade deficit with China ballooned amid supply chain disruptions, while US trade remains a bedrock of stability. Inverting this means embracing "Canada First" procurement, mandating domestic content in infrastructure and defense, and curbing offshoring that hollows out communities. The payoff? Revitalized rust-belt regions, from Alberta's oil sands to Ontario's auto plants, with ripple effects in employment and fiscal revenues.

Post 2.
Fiscal discipline forms the backbone of this hypothetical overhaul. Ottawa's debt-fueled spending, ballooning deficits to fund expansive social programs and international commitments, has inflated the national debt to over $1.2 trillion, crowding out private investment and fueling inflation. The opposite approach: rigorous austerity, sunsetting inefficient subsidies, and tying expenditures to measurable outcomes. Evidence from post-1990s reforms under Jean Chrétien demonstrates the efficacy; balanced budgets then spurred a decade of robust growth. Today, this could mean reallocating funds from multilateral aid to domestic R&D in nuclear tech and AI, yielding compounding returns. Freedom from fiscal shackles would empower individuals and businesses, prioritizing personal responsibility over state control, and igniting entrepreneurial spirit.
Skeptics might decry this as regressive, but the data paints a compelling picture of uplift. Unlocking stalled projects alone could add 1-2% to annual GDP growth, per economic modeling from think tanks like the Fraser Institute. Merit-based immigration could narrow the productivity gap by attracting 100,000 high-skilled workers annually, potentially lifting per capita income by 15% over 15 years. Nuclear expansion, drawing on Canada's uranium riches, might reduce energy costs by 20%, making exports more competitive. US-focused trade could mitigate tariff risks and secure supply chains, adding resilience in an uncertain world. Collectively, these inversions champion evidence over elite narratives, sovereignty over global entanglements, and freedom over top-down mandates, principles that could propel Canada toward a brighter, more self-reliant future.
Of course, implementation demands nuance; not every policy flip is binary. Yet, in a nation blessed with vast resources and ingenuity, persisting with the status quo risks perpetual mediocrity. By daring to invert the playbook, Canada could reclaim its destiny, proving that sometimes, the path to progress lies in defying convention.

Summary of Code and Findings
This Python script simulates Canada's GDP trajectories over 10 years under current policies versus a "flipped" scenario incorporating policy inversions like unlocking $670 billion in stalled projects (adding $67 billion annually), partially closing the 20-25% productivity gap (adding 1% annual growth), and boosts from nuclear energy and merit-based immigration (adding 0.5% growth). Using a base GDP of $2.2 trillion (2025 estimate) and conservative growth rates, the model projects a cumulative uplift of $2.12 trillion USD in the flipped scenario, demonstrating substantial economic potential through evidence-driven reforms. The code uses NumPy for calculations and includes optional Matplotlib visualization for local runs.
